The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1887-02-26


cns, ar era Of prosperity, greater than
'an ever before, is unfolding itself and
it, vain viii Ger spread the Menomince
Range. The depression in iron put
serious damper on mining ON this Range,
but did not knock the bottom cut of il,
not by any means. We are here still and
the coming season the whole world will
hear from us. Many mines which have
been idle for a number OF years, are be-
ing put ia shape for an output; new
mines are being found almost every day !;
heavy shippers are making preparations
TO mine and ship TO theirfullest capacity;
explorers are industriously at work, delv-
ing in the bowels OF the earth, in
search of iron and all point to the most
prosperous summer this Range has yet
experienced. Crystal Falls H., just M
present, attracting considerable atten-
sion md some OF the more enthusiastic
ones predict that in less than five years
il will be the metropolis of the Menom-
ince Range and indeed, from the present
outlook, il would seem within the range
of probabilities that their predictions
are likely 20 be verified. There is GER
tainly not town ON the Range that has
80 many mines and such good prospects
for mines. Preparations are already
being made for putting spur tracks to
several OF our new properties. Towns
where older and larger mines are situated
boast OF the great work done and prob
ably look down on us with disdain, but
they do not stop oconsider the fact that
che who laughs hast laughs bcst;' we
have a dozen infant mines here, mere
babies yet, who have yet their records to
make. The coming season will see mines
and good ones, too, working IN this vicin-
ity, where we little think Of now We're
not dead yet aud will make a stir in iron
circles that will lead people 60 think that
Crystal Falls, and Crystal Fails alone, is
the Mecca Of the Upper Peninsula.
Capitalists can come here and invest
their money and have the satisfaction Oi
having IL returned 60 them and with an
increasing revenue ever afterwards.
DoubterH, come and sec for yourselves.
Monied men, who are anxious 90 invest
In something that viii double their
wealth, arc invited TO visit Crystal Falls
and inspect the various openings, and il
yon are not satisfied here you need go no
farther.
